Christmas Decor


Christmas is coming extra fast this year!
With only three and a half weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we started decorating our home, a little earlier this year!

It's always so much fun, when holiday decorating with a child! London loves every minute of it, and
is a part of all the festivities.

This year, London helped me design our Christmas mantel...the cardinals were the first, and most important part of the whole design! Everything else was centered around them!



So, have a look! I'll do a whole house tour in the next few days!





Happy Decorating!

  I get this question a lot. What is Compassion School? It’s not just another program or curriculum—it’s a movement. Compassion School is a groundbreaking approach to education designed to nurture empathy, kindness, and respect for animals in children from an early age. Imagine a classroom where math, science, and language arts intertwine with lessons on understanding animal emotions, advocating for creatures in need, and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. That’s Compassion School.   Why Focus on Empathy for Animals?   Children are naturally curious about animals, but that curiosity isn’t always guided toward understanding and respect. Traditional education often overlooks emotional intelligence toward non-human lives. Compassion School fills that gap. Here’s why it matters:    Empathy as a Foundation: Empathy isn’t just "being nice"—it’s a critical life skill. Studies show that children who practice empathy toward animals develop stronger...
